[QuadTrix6]

i got an RPM off ebay for 230

Quadtrix you really do need to put a lock nut on there and chit can the stocker. It'll come loose everytime you ride if you leave the stocker on there..:(

$45 will get ya one from just about anywere..;)

where can u get them for $45? I saw the LSR is $220 on their site :confused: I might buy the LSR off mxbubs for cheaper but if i can get one for cheaper then what hes selling for that would be great.

the guy said used like 4 times then he had to sell his bike and he took off all the aftermarket stuff.

You can use all the stock stuff...if you want. Personally I would get a nice bearing carrier (I got RPM)....that way your rear end will pretty much trouble free. You can use the stock axle nut if you have a good set of wrenches to torque that sucker down. I personally wrapped electrical tape around it that way it can't come loose. I know that might sound cheap, but it really doesn't look bad at all.

Quadtrix...do what Rico said man. I put the stock on back on when I put on my LSR axle, and it came loose constantly. Call C&D, they have them for like 45.00 or so. Not the RAD lock nut or whatever, Call Dusty, she will know what you are talking about.

Qaudtrix your thinkin of an Antifade nut that runs $220+ dollars...you don't need one of them. They all hype in my mind..:ermm:


Just a standard simple locknut will do the job.. Meszaro motorsports has a dual pinch axle nut that is one of the best on the market I think,,just for the fact it has 2 pinch bolts and not 1 like others..:D

The LSR is so expensive because it also has the brake rotor attachment. You want something like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43974&item=2419871863

And just to re-iterate what everybody else has said, yes, you will have constant problems if you try to re-use the stock locknut set. They will constantly come loose.

anit-fade is supposedly made to help reduce heat built up by the brake rotor..:rolleyes: As if our rotors turn red hot like nascar rotors do an we need them. The anit-fade is your brake rotor hub and lock nut all in one.


Locknut just replaces the stock lock-nut but works much better.

oo ok so the anti fade come with a locknut and some other junk ? thanks rico :D

Just received my Meszaro motorsports lock nut in the mail the other day. Nice quality. One of the best i have seen for the money. Now just need to get that new axle.

Nice deal on that axle. I don't know how i missed that one :mad:
